Young Thug has stopped in at Los Angeles federal court to support his friend Metro Boomin at the producer's civil rape lawsuit trial which is now underway. Legal reporter Meghann Cuniff spotted Thugger outside the courtroom on Wednesday, where he confirmed he was present to support Metro Boomin. "Young Thug is here to support Metro Boomin in his civil sexual assault trial," Cuniff wrote on Instagram. "I saw him in the security line when I was walking out for the break, and I did a double-take because whoa. He confirmed he's here to support his friend." Thug and Boomin have long been friends and collaborators, joining forces on tracks including Trance, Hercules, Metro Spider and Love You More. Filed in 2024, the civil suit finds a woman claiming she was under the influence of Xanax and alcohol at a Metro Boomin (real name Leland Wayne) studio session in 2016 and woke up to find the producer raping her. Boomin has maintained that their encounter was consensual and said it is a case of a "classic celebrity shakedown". His lawyers allege the woman came up with the idea to sue the producer while hallucinating on the South American psychedelic drug ayahuasca. Thug is set to make his musical comeback with the release of his album Uy Scuti this Friday.
